Bachmann have officially unveiled the new range for the UK. The pre-production model of Thomas was shown off, showcasing the now thicker dummy coupling hooks(which is now painted black) and thicker lamp irons. The face itself didn't receive anything major sadly, but it has been ever so slightly improved with larger eyebrows. Internally is a more interesting story. The model itself is a far smoother runner than it's US version, and it's now DCC Ready, holding an 18 pin DCC socket.

I hope those are some upgrades that will be announced for the US versions as well at Toy Fair.
